I just bought a futura 133 2009, a very nice board ,and I am using it mostly with a severne element 8,5. Before I was riding a formula 162 with a NP 9,8, but i decided to improve my freeriding abilities and also it was quite demanding phisically speaking, I did not race. So sold the board and sail

The futura is quite good plannig when powered up, though in marginal winds, is not as good as formula, planning early and upwind ability. that we know for sure.

I wonder if for those situations I upgrade to a bigger fin, let`s say 50 or 52, will the board improve in planning early and upwind performance, i don`t want a bigger sail, because I know for that I will end up again in formula boards and heavy sails.
thanks
